Some accounts say he was born in W. Va., some say PA, some VA.His children were born in Indiana and Ohio if memory serves.He may have been from the area around Greene Co, PA and research into that area and to which state it belonged may be called for.There were Adams families in that area.
From "The Echo"1982 (IL)ADAMS REUNION"The direct descendants of William Franklin Adams and Isabel Bushong Adams who moved to Bureau County, IL in 1840held a family reunion Sunday , July 4th at the Tampico park, Tampico, Illinois."
He had sons Samuel, Jacob, and Frank,daus. Margaret Jane (married a Joseph Rhinehart) and Katie who married Nathan Meek as per obit. of Harriet Love Craddock (Daughter of his 2ndwife Hannah) in 1938.
